One hour prior
Veronica took a deep breath, then she got out of her car. She slowly went up to the shop and was immediately greeted by a young man. "Why are you here?" He asked her, he was probably one of those who saw her for a brief moment when she got out of the cabin over a year ago and he had probably no idea on why they were there. "Is Weevil here?" She asked and the man hesitated but then pointed into the shop and Veronica went in, first however she notice more than a few bullet holes in the facade. She found him under a car, and as soon as he heard steps coming towards him he started to talk, not even coming out from under the car. "I am not interested, get lost!" He said, and Veronica stopped in front of him. "Thank you." She then said and when he heard her voice he actually stopped working. "I know I should have come here to tell you… but I didn't, and I was wrong… sometimes I do the wrong thing!" She said and now he came out from under the car and got up. "Sometimes? I can think of a lot of times!" He said. "But this is by far the worst one, and I am sorry!" She said. "Great, I hope you feel better now!" He said. "Logan died!" She said. "Yeah, a year ago… then you left!" He said, and that was a valid point. He started to walk and she followed him. He got a beer and went to sit down outside, she sat down across from him.
He drank almost the whole bottle before he said something and Veronica looked at the facade again and then she looked towards the worn down house where the woman she had the information on had rented a space. "Sorry for your loss, guess that is something I should have said earlier too." He then said. "You were there, at the funeral! I saw you" She said and he nodded. "Yeah, I probably didn't blend in that well!" "You did. I just.. noticed you." Weevil finished his beer. "Hector came to see me, gave me a big scolding!" She said. "What? What did he say?" "Nothing that wasn't accurate!" Weevil just shook his head. "He also asked for a favour, but don't think that is what made me come, I should have done that a long time ago! This just forced me to actually act!" She said and he thought for a while. "Was it about the shooting, cause you can do miracles, but do not get involved with those idiots!" He said looking at the bullet holes."No, that I have learnt! It was about the woman in the building overthere!" Veronica nodded towards the building. "huh? That.. he's just paranoid!" Weevil said. "I don't think he is. Her name is Mira Shane, she's irish!" Weevil looked up."What?" "Yeah, that was my reaction. However, she was hard to research, no criminal record here or back in Ireland. She is here on a tourist visa, which I doubt is true… I wouldn't vacation here, would you?And although you shouldn't judge someone's origin, in this case it is hard not too! You know why the Fitzpatricks suddenly felt the urge to..redesign the shop?" "One of the boys angered them, did some redesigning of his own, stupid moron! Hector dealt with him!" Veronica nodded. "Hector looked like a wreck, said you didn't seem to care anymore, and kind of admitted he needs you!" "Are you asking me to go back in business?" He said and you could almost see a hint of a smile. "I am asking you to take control, they listen to you..which you could use for good.. like you did at the cabin. Did they even know why you forced them up there?" She asked. "Did they know we went up to save the very person who forced one of us out of town and made a point of sticking her nose into what we did? Hell no! I doubt they would have come!" "I think they would have!" Weevil shook his head. "You overestimate my leadership!" He said. "But I don't think Hector is up to it!" Veronica replied. "
You got a plan for this Irish guest?" He asked, eager to change the subject and this time Veronica gave him a pass. "I do, and I do because I know how you and your guys normally handle problems!" "Then you also know we..or I don't listen either!" He stated. "Perhaps it is time to change that, I am wrong at times, but so are you!" Weevil agreed with that. "So you need me to keep them away?" He asked. "Yes, but I need you to have my back!" She said. "You want me to come?" "Yes. Might not seem like it, but I do trust you, more now than ever. You may hate me at times, but you would never allow me to get hurt!" "What's the plan?" "Very simple, I talk to her, you make sure I can do it! And then of course I have this little sucker" Veronica said and held up a bug.
